Making some serious progress in Tears of the Kingdom and finishing up Final Fantasy XVI.
Trying to get things squared away, Remnant 2 come out soon and I'm excited about that.

Make a backup, but yes. The new DynamicFPS mod from Chucksfeedandseed is a game changer, allows resolution to be scaled natively as opposed to using the Yuzu scaler. Way, way better image quality and fixes issues like the Sky Islands being weird.

Really cool video making use of a tool to count the actual pixels of boss health bars as opposed to relying on the damage screen at the end which can be pretty unreliable.

As Resident Evil and Street Fighter flourish, Capcom has said sequels to more obscure franchises could happen, including Sengoku Basara.

Ornstein and Smough on the 1.0 version of Dark Souls in 2011 when I was very bad at Dark Souls and video games in general. In the DLC Hawkeye Gough has some line about how hunting the dragons teased out his dearest emotions and that's truly how I felt about my O&S experience. They kicked the ever loving shit out of me so many times. I remember finally scoring the kill in spite of the controller nearly falling out of my hands due to sweat at like 4 AM. Reacted a bit too loud, woke up my girlfriend (now wife haha). Just one of those moments that I will always remember.
Besides that, mostly all the Destiny raids haha. The Day 1 raiding experience in Destiny is just such a unique and awesome thing. Nothing quite like problem solving with a group of friends. Deep Stone Crypt is probably the most memorable of such experienced to me, first time the group I play with tried a Day 1 raid and completing it just gave me such a crazy high.

It's quite good. Definitely referential, but it has enough wiggle with some of the thematic stuff that it can get away with it. Will be cool to see where the stuff with "feeling springs reacting" leads to.
Gameplay felt more than serviceable but not quite on the level of a From Software title in the slice we played. More than good enough though. Excited for the full release.

Tons of great ones this year
Resident Evil 4 Remake was a real highlight for me, just a stellar way to revisit what I consider to be one of the best games of all time.
Haven't finished it, but Tears of the Kingdom seems like it's on its way to be a historically significant game and deserves the praise.
Jedi Survivor is a favorite for me. Really good review scores, but it ticks a lot of the right boxes for my personal taste and elevates it even higher. Technical issues aside, thought it was a far better game than Fallen Order.
Diablo 4 is also a lot of fun but I'm undecided as to how I feel about the endgame. As a campaign experience right up there though.
....soo much to play right now haha.

Really vivid memories of going Christmas shopping with my mother and getting Final Fantasy X with the strategy guide as an early gift when I was young. I think it had just released and it was all over the magazines I was subscribed to (shoutout Gamepro haha). Was super engrossed with it during that break. I always interested in RPGs, but I was at just the right age to really start enjoying them a lot more when that game came out. Was a really awesome, memorable winter break.
...on a more duderbo note, my high school friends and I would stay up ungodly hours and drink waaaaay too many Five Hour energy shots playing Halo 3 and later Reach. Undoubtably unhealthy, but very good times.

Yeah even as someone who loves those types of games it's definitely a thing that's beginning to impose itself on the space a bit too much at this point. This looks fresh compared to how most third person RPGs are these days.

Feels like this has been a little bit slept on. Looks promising! Decent pedigree from the devs having done the first Lords of the Fallen and The Surge series. Looks to be moving away from the Soulslike direction their recent titles have taken and more towards a more conventional action RPG. Movement looks cool!

The KOTOR series is the easy answer here for me, just wonderful games. BioWare was truly on top of their game for the first KOTOR and I really appreciated a lot about what KOTOR II was trying to do. One day I'll do a play through with all the cut content, that's been on my list for a good bit.
I'm big on the Souls games and Metroidvania type titles, so the Fallen Order games really hit a wonderful sweet spot for me. Really enjoyed Jedi Survivor recently.

This is shaping up so well by the looks of it. The pace of play looks exactly what I would want out of a modern mech game. Very excited about this one. From Software does not miss.
Wendigo this week! I did something like....120 Warden of Nothings with the meta uncertainty because of the imminent grenade launcher buff. Ended up with several I was happy with, so I can sit this one out pretty comfortably haha.

There's a comfy niche for Intel selling $200-350 GPUs. Glad to hear things have turned around for them some. Remember hearing that Intel was canning these things before they even launched/directly after launch and that would have been such a tragedy.
It's been a bit of time. What are peoples overall thoughts about the new dungeon? **Disclaimer I only have two clears** but I thought it was....mostly excellent really. The past year has been really rough for me in terms of raid/dungeon content. Neither Spire of the Watcher or Root of Nightmares really hit for me for a variety of reasons. Went into Ghosts expecting it to be a trend that continued, but walked away super impressed. The scale of it all was super impressive and I loved seeing a new style of environment delivered in the unique palette Destiny uses. The mechanic itself was pretty simple, but the way they dressed it up worked pretty well. ...only real complaint about it that I have is that the first encounter drags a little bit. If it ended one cycle early it would feel a lot better IMO.

ayyy 3080 gang.
Yeah, it's holding up pretty well for me too. I'll likely buy a new card next gen though, I have the 10 GB version and the VRAM stuff is getting crazy and seems like it will get worse before it gets better.
What's everyone on /m/gaming playing lately? I'm still making my way through the Diablo IV campaign, really enjoying that but looking forward to blasting and figuring out if I enjoy the endgame more than anything at this point. I'm a binge Path of Exile player but the past few leagues haven't really done it for me. It's been nice to play an ARPG again and I'm enjoying D4's slower pace. Zoom zoom is great in POE, but it's nice to get back to basics a little bit. Went with Whirlwind Barbarian. Know it's meta, but Cyclone Slayer is my favorite POE build so I'm just trying to enjoy my time as the overpowered class rather than fighting it haha. Played through the Lies of P demo as well and thought it was mostly great. Not the greatest example of gameplay for the genre IMO, but the production values and the vibe were stellar. How about you guys?

Strider is great. Assassin is just so powerful and fun to play when you get it though, really best of all worlds IMO.
...honestly every class in Dragon's Dogma is super fun haha. Some really unique stuff too like Magic Archer. They're masterworks all. You can't go wrong.

Feels like just enough to strike while the Diablo 4 hype is high. Very interested to see what happens at Exilecon though!
I'm a longtime POE player but for whatever reason I've found it harder and harder to get excited about new seasons. Hopefully POE 2 is a shot in the arm for me. Willing to bet it will be :) When POE is hitting, there's really nothing like it.

Hey this place is still pretty new! As far as I can see, this is the only spot on the forum/link aggregator fediverse space for this game. Think the way to grow things like this is with higher effort posts, so here's my attempt at that. Here are some links I think are extremely useful to Destiny players as well as a description of what they do/are! **DIM: Destiny Item Manager** [https://app.destinyitemmanager.com](https://app.destinyitemmanager.com) An essential resource for all Destiny players. DIM allows easy management of your items from a browser window but also packs many other powerful features. Loadout management, appraisal of weapon rolls, and other quality-of-life features are highlights. **D2Armorpicker** [https://d2armorpicker.com/](https://d2armorpicker.com/) Incredible build crafting resource. D2Armorpicker will allow you to specify the stat profile you are looking for with an exotic and search all the armor you own to see stat possibilities. D2Armorpicker will account for stat benefits/detractions from fragments if specified. Start here when making a new build! **light.gg** [https://www.light.gg/](https://www.light.gg/) A general-purpose Destiny 2 database. light.gg indexes all obtainable items in the game. Players often use this to check what's new in a season. light.gg will also list items currently available from vendors like Xur and the Gunsmith. It offers an appraisal of these weapons as well, but be warned: the appraisal is based on the raw popularity of perks and often misses nuances. **d2foundry** [https://d2foundry.gg/](https://d2foundry.gg/) A D2Gunsmith replacement. Allows you to see what rolls on weapons, how perks affect their stats, and offers community research into how perks work. Filtering weapons based on their available perks, frame, and element allows you to find a weapon to complete your build. **Braytech** [https://bray.tech/](https://bray.tech/) A general-purpose Destiny companion app with many feautures. A number of said features are geared around helping collectors locate things they are missing, with maps helping you locate various collectibles and triumphs. **BONUS SPREADSHEET STUFF FOR NERDS** **Damage Chart Madness** [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12vF7ckMzN4hex-Tse4HPiVs\_d9huFOKlvUoq5V41nxU/](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12vF7ckMzN4hex-Tse4HPiVs_d9huFOKlvUoq5V41nxU/) A well maintained general purpose DPS spreadsheet.
